4 Claims. (01. 240-102) This invention relates to a lamp holder for the locking prongs of the lamp guard, so that use in devices such as refrigerator cabinets or the guard cannot slip off the lamp holder without the like. disengagement of the clamping member 20.
It is an object of the invention to secure a It is desirable that the locking'ends of the guard lamp holder for use in a refrigerator cabinet, or make contact with the resilient support H where the like, and more particularly to lock the lamp holder in position by means of the lamp guard within the support by cooperation with the flange which is used to protect the lamp. I5. In this manner retraction of the lamp holder Referring to the drawing Fig. l is a view of the from the resilient support is prevented by the lamp and lamp holder mounted in a refrigerator prongs contacting the support II. The guard has cabinet; Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the lamp an upstanding portion 2| covering the end of any holder and guard; Fig. 3 is a view of the resilient lamp which may be inserted in the holder and support and lamp holder in position to be assembled; Fig. 4 is a view of the resilient support and in the refrigerator. The resilient mounting acts l5 lamp holder in assembled relationship, and Fig. ,to absorb any blows transmitted to it by dis- 5 is an end view of the resilient support. turbance of the lamp holder during normal use Fig. 1 shows the lamp holder assembly In in of the refrigerator compartment. operative position in a refrigerator cabinet C. The invention constructed as described above The assembly is more clearly shown in Figs. 2 provides a simple and efficient means to lock the to 5, inclusive, and comprises a resilient support lamp holder in the support. The guard not only II of rubber, or the like, which is press fitted into acts to protect the lamp but cooperates with the the wall I2 of the refrigerator cabinet, the edges lamp holder to lock it in the support. Separate of the wall being seated in a recess l3 formed locking means for the lamp holder are unnecesaround the periphery of the resilient support. sary with the construction shown, and hence the An opening H is formed in the support to receive lamp holder assembly may be easily and ecoa lamp holder. The resilient support II is subnomically manufactured resulting in a considerstantially circular in form but is provided with able saving in cost. beveled side portions l l forming part of the While I have illustrated and described the inrecess I 3 which engage the wall of the cabinet vention as applied to a refrigeratorcabinet, it
